"You know, it's surprising,” Foles said of the Eagles' decision to release DeSean Jackson. “But at the same time, you learn that it's a business."

Speaking to Comcast SportsNet, the franchise quarterback had nothing but positive things to say about Jackson, who the Eagles moved on from after a failed attempt trying to trade him. Although no official reason for Jackson's release has been given, it is widely believed that off-the-field issues played a major role in the decision -- issues that Foles said he didn't see.

“We had a great relationship on and off the field,” Foles said of Jackson. “Everybody has other things going on, but to me personally, I really enjoyed playing with him and I'm excited that he landed on his feet. He's a heck of a player.”

Jackson and Foles proved to be a dangerous duo last season for the Eagles, as six of Jackson's eight touchdowns came from Foles.

Now, Jackson is a member of the Washington Redskins, leaving Foles and the Eagles to look for a wideout to help replace the production Jackson takes with him to the division rival.

How they will do that is yet to be seen, but Foles said he wishes Jackson nothing but the best with his new team.

"He landed on his feet and I know he's going to do well," Foles said. "He's a great player. He's been tremendous for me. But at the same time, we have to keep moving forward as an organization. But I do wish DeSean well. I had a blast playing with him."
